Wi-Fi stopped working after update

I just updated Manjaro Sway on my Pinebook Pro and now I can’t see any wifi networks nor any bluetooth devices.

Checking the privacy switch, rebooting more than 4 times and systemctl restart NetworkManager did not help.

At this point I’m stuck… Luckily I am able to use internet through my phone.

Try a cold boot.

Wifi and Bluetooth is really flaky when doing reboots/warmboots.
